Again, more people bitching about Sec Gates.
Imagine, I once thought Salon was a site for Liberal pragmatists, now I realize that it is a site for ideologues.
Sec Gates is not at fault for Iraq, Gitmo, Abu Ghraib, etc. He was brought in by GWB to fix the mess he has created and so far he has done a great job.
Especially by giving a kick in the ass to the Army and Air Force about which priorities to focus on. He is the best man for the job and must be retained.
To rest of you who oppose Sec Gates you know not of what you speak. So keep your mouth shut to avoid sounding foolish.
